I am nothing if not stubborn. And that is why I can once again bring you a short
round-up of the most recent community event celebrating 13 years of 3DXChat.
Because, after my thoroughly miserable experience at the recent Halloween
community event, I had no real motivation to put myself through that shit again,
apart from my stubborn willing to endure for the sake of being able to bring
this to you.
So how was it? Was it as much of a waste of my time as the last one?
Welp, that last event really was bottom of the barrel so, so might call me
naïve for saying this, but I really don't think we can sink to those low
levels again. It really was that shitty. So the only way can be up, right?
Right?!
Thankfully, the answer answer was yes. At least for now. Because this event
was certainly better. In so much that it seems like, despite over 500 guests
being in attendance at its peak, people could still get in. That's an instant
win in comparison right there!
And, I have to say that I thought it was a pretty great venue for this event.
Hot on the heels of the release of my sweet themed music video for my latest
single, Lollipop, the dessert themed setting felt pretty familiar to me. A fun
theme that was well executed. No massive choke points of over-crowding, like
we've seen multiple times before, and a well-distributed crowd throughout the
party space allowed everyone to maintenance a little bit of personal
space.
Unless you are one of those guests that are hoping to share an intimate
encounter with other party-goers. In which case, there were a feel more
secluded sitting areas where you could get up close and personal with each
other.
That said, I still feel that these events continue to properly embrace sexy
times. For a community founded on sex and adult fun. OK, OK,OK, maybe for
Halloween or Irish-culture Appropriation Day, promoting sex as part of the
event is made less relevant to the party's theme, but for this one it really
should be an integral part of it. I guess that it's something that is unlikely
to change any time soon as the organisers of these events just don't seem to
see it as a priority.
Just like something else that will never change is their insistence on
subjecting all of the guests to hours of the same old shitty generic EDM. Why
is that the only music that they will ever allow at these? Do they not realise
that half the guests think it is absolute dogshit? Have they not cottoned on
to the fact that people now proactively avoiding attending this events because
they know that it will be the same old shit that they cannot stand?
Seriously, I am so sick of always having to talk about this. Literally, every
time I review one of these events, I have to waste a chunk of it talking about
how bad the music was. At best, I have to say how uninspired and shitty it
was. At worst, I have to say how completely inappropriate it was for the
event's theme and how it actually detracted from the overall party experience.
Fuck me, can I just be allowed to get through one of these events just once
without having to come back to that? Please!
Ugh, I think I've just lost the will to write anymore... So I'll quickly
summarise - lots of people in a cool venue dancing to shitty music. Much
better than the last event but, overall, just fine. The giveaways that they
were doing every 30-60 mins obviously was the main attraction for many of
those in attendance, which, on reflection, suggests that maybe the organisers
have realised that they need to bribe guests into tolerating the shitty music?
Nah, I think it is wishful thinking to hope that there is that level of
awareness...
